What's the difference between 'Filmed for Imax' and 'Shot With Imax?'

TL; DR:

  • “Filmed for IMAX” means it was filmed on high-resolution digital cameras, then cropped to 1.90:1 for the digital IMAX release.
  • “Shot with IMAX” means it was filmed using IMAX certified cameras; sometimes, but not always, on 15/70mm IMAX film.

    The TL;DR needs a bit of expansion.

    “Filmed” also means they thought about the IMAX process and aspect ratio all the way through production

    “Shot” is correct but the film is then converted to the digital format for projection. I’m not sure there’s too many places doing IMAX film (non digital) projection now.
